My Wildest Dreams

I wake up in the morning and always have these great ambitions! I want to do so much! For example...

I want to get my Sign Language Interpreters License someday.

I want to go to beauty school and learn how to cut hair.

I want to go make a home for someone in a needy country.

I want to go on an Alaskan Cruise.

I want to go mentor in a near-by preschool that teaches children how to read using the Book of Mormon so that someday I can run my own preschool.

I want to take up family history.

I want to snuggle up a beautiful corner and read a cheesy romance novel.

I want to train for a triathlon.

I want to scrapbook every single picture that I own.

I want to learn how to make darling accessories.

I want to read all the scriptural based books alongside my scripture study and take every single institute class offered.

I want to plant a huge garden.

I want to get scuba certified.

I want to refinish old furniture and make it super cute.

I want to learn how to quilt with my grandma.

I want to take cooking classes so that I might be a wonderful cook who actually likes to make dinner.

I want to get a job that requires me to wear scrubs - just because it would be cool.

I want to become certified to be one of the class instructors at the gym.

I want to learn how to snowboard.

I want to take a church history trip AFTER I read all I can about it.

I want to take even more classes on children and family sciences because they are my absolute favorite.

And the list goes on and on...

The problem? I can't even seem to get my homework done, make it to the gym a few times a week, get adequate sleep, and fit in a meaningful scripture study.

Maybe that is why I absolutely LOVED Sis. Julie B. Beck's talk from conference! She said, "A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of which are important. A good woman must constantly resist alluring and deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life of greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently."

I want to do all these things and I am sure that I will eventually get to do SOME of them, but the most important thing is that I accomplish what Heavenly Father wants me to do most! So I will have to hold off on some of my wildest dreams! In the mean time, I will just enjoy dreaming and love today!! :)
